Abstract (en)

The mechanism comprises a first part (200) and a second part (300) movable relative to the first part (200), a spring member (500) acting on the second part (300) such that the second part (300) is biased onto a contoured surface (400), and a damper element (600) for absorbing impacts to the first part (200) associated with one of the first part (200) and the second part (300). In embodiments where the damper element (600) is a part of or attached to the first part (200), the relative movement of the second part (300) to the first part (200) causes relative movement of the damper element (600) to the second part (300) without contacting the second part (300), whereas, in embodiments where the damper element (600) is a part of or attached to the second part (300), the relative movement of the second part (300) to the first part (200) causes relative movement of the damper element (600) to the first part (200) without contacting the first part (200). Thus, relative movement between the first and second parts does not result in wearing down the damper element.
